The house decorations of the frae tetnities, sororities, and dormitories carried out a marine theme in addition to the usual team prepping slogans. Capturing the trophies in the house competition were the Gammas, the O Chis and Dodge Hall. During the parade on Saturday morning, the floats displayed yards of crepe paper, theusands of paper nap- kins, and ingenious mechanical devices. In this category, the Alpha Phis and Lambda Chis literally led the parade. Also included in the traditional Homecoming pro- cession were high school bands, commercial floats, novelties, and special units. Our Homecoming Besr was appropriate and in style despite the menace of the flu bug. 19

Smaller but 5in :pecMmIM, 11M bonfire war one of the highlight; of Ike weekendt 0 PK; mmmzl tarivilege Homecoming Fertiyitier Homecoming 1957 proved once again that Valpo student spirit is hard to stifle. Approximately one- fourth of the campus population was in bed with the flu. The Hobo Parade and Stunt Night were cancelled by President 0. P. Kretzman; all activities and meetings were curtailed during the week after Homecoming to help us recuperate. Nevertheless, the students were determined not to disappoint all the Visitors and alumni. All the other ac- tivities were carried out as planned. Homecoming began officially on Friday evening with the crowning of Beverly Manzelmann as 1957 Homecoming Queen. After the bonfire had been lit, everyone realized that this particular tradition was dying. We appreciated the bonfire more this year because it may have been out last. Can we find another tradition to replace it? The rest of the activities followed in rapid succession-ethe paarde, the Homecoming game with Butler, and the Presidents reception for alumni and seniors. One might add that the presence of the alumni raised our spirits considerably. Despite the unfortunate circumstances which $ur- rounded Homecoming 1957, the student spirit gen erated that needed spark that made it one of the most memorable.
